Defence questions reliability of children
A bit of Port Moody history is on the move
Plehanov trial verdict expected in the fall By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Shamus and Leif Pridy of Pridy Bros. House Moving are in charge of the move tonight — at midnight — of one of Port Moody’s older and more distinguished homes. Centennial House, formerly known as Appleyard House, will be moved from its current location at 2714 Clarke St. to 126 Kyle St., one of the longest and more complex such endeavours in the city in recent years. For more information, see story and photos on page A18.
ALSO ON THE MOVE IN THE TRI-CITIES: ELECTION BOUNDARIES A proposal to add one federal riding and change the two existing ones was put forward this week by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission: story & maps, page A8
The defence attacked testimony given by children in the trial of Aleksandr Plehanov, a substitute teacher accused of sexually assaulting several students, as unreliable and inconsistent. Plehanov’s lawyer, Lisa Helps, said in her closing submissions Wednesday that some of the children talked amongst themselves about their teacher’s alleged inappropriate behaviour before adults became involved. This, she argued, could taint their stories and added that it was concerning that some of the same language was used by the different children in the re-telling of the events. Helps also questioned the testimony of one of the alleged victims, who came forward after police made a request to the public through the media seeking information. “There are reliabil-
House arrest, community service for local man’s part in the Stanley Cup riot: page A6 ity issues with each of the children,” she said. “Frailties in the child evidence can’t be remedied by factual evidence. Direct cross-examination of the children leads to difficulties in this case.” The defence also had concerns with some of the testimony of school administrators, who had warned Plehanov about his boundary issues and even reprimanded him for inappropriate behaviour. see NOTHING NOTHING,, page A4

Recycling and fees come to more electric gear By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Hundreds of additional electrical products — from drills and other power tools to sports equipment such as treadmills — can now be returned to B.C. depots for recycling. The July 1 expansion of the ElectroRecycle program, which was first launched last fall, means consumers are also now paying an extra recycling fee when they buy new products
that are covered. A laser level sold in B.C. now costs 75 cents more while the fees are $2.75 for sewing machines and $4.25 for exercise machines. Those charges, which fund the industry stewardship program, are in addition to fees on many other small appliances that kicked in last October, adding $2.25 to the cost of new toasters and blenders, for example, or an extra $10 for a large microwave oven. “ Wi t h t h e s e n ew
product cate gories, ElectroRecycle will help divert even more electrical products from disposal to resource recovery,” said Recycling Council of BC CEO Brock Macdonald. “The expanded program will also help municipalities spend less on managing waste.” Whether the fees charged are separately itemized on a bill or are included in a product’s price depends on the retailer. Fo r m e rl y k n o w n
as Unplugged, the expanded program now covers virtually all consumer electrical products with a power plug or battery that weren’t already being collected by depots through other programs. It’s the latest in a growing roster of takeback programs in B.C. where manufacturers and retailers are required by the province to set up depots to collect and recycle old items while consumers pay recycling fees to
cover the costs. Electrical products taken to ElectroRecycle drop-off locations are s e n t t o p ro c e s s o r s within Canada and separated into different materials for recycling. The non-profit program is run by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association in partnership with B.C.based Product Care Association on a longt e r m c o s t - re c ove r y basis. jnagel@blackpress.ca
Depots in Tri-Cities Following is a list of the three Tri-City depots that are part of the ElectroRecycle program. These locations do no accept very large bench-top power tools with an integrated stand and very large exercise machines such as treadmills.

Wiener or finger, this saw is safe State-of-the-art table saws for Terry Fox school By Diane Strandberg TRI-CITY NEWS
Table saws don’t usually draw a crowd but when it’s one that can detect human skin and will shut down to avoid contact, a few disbelievers will always show up. Before the school year ended, some of them saw the light when Terry Fox secondary shop teacher Peter Haerdi hosted a demonstration of a SawStop safety saw. School District 43 health and safety manager Wendy Bennett, Port Coquitlam Trustee Judy Shirra and a few other SD43 shop teachers were invited to the demonstration by KMS Tools sales representative Simon Findlay. The SawStop demo has been popular on YouTube — 85,801 views, when last checked — because of patented technology that recognizes human skin by detecting electrical conductivity in the body. Bennett was invited to try out the table saw by pushing through a hot dog, with similar electrical conductivity to human skin, and experiencing the sensation as the fast-acting brake stopped the saw before making contact with the processed meat. “Whoa!” was Bennett’s re a c t i o n wh e n t h e

brake grabbed the saw within about 1/200th of a second of detecting the damp wiener. “There’s not a scratch,” she said examining the tube steak, “It can go back to the kitchen.” Haerdi said the saws provide an extra element of safety in school
shops, where a moment of distraction can result in a severed finger. With $10,000 in transition education funding, he has purchased four SawStop table saws for his shop class, replacing outdated equipment that had been around the school for many years.
“I truly believe this is the saw of the future,” he said. “We have a lot of students who are intimidated by the table saw and some Grade 9s refuse to use it. “It will also be a relief for parents because it could potentially save a major injury.”
While no one has ever been injured by a table saw in his high school shop class, Haerdi said the SawStop will ensure
that injuries don’t happen. He is also pleased the SawStop offers many other safety features; for example, a special key
is required to operate it and he can keep the keys secure until they are needed. Although it costs $90 to replace the brake once it is used, Haerdi said the cost is minimal compared to the cost of injury. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘Nothing sexualized in this classroom:’ lawyer continued from front page
Knocked down by skateboarder Victoria police are trying to find a skateboarder after two Coquitlam residents were knocked to the ground in the provincial capitol. A 57-year-old Coquitlam woman
walking on the sidewalk at Douglas and View streets on Tuesday at about 2:30 p.m. was allegedly struck by the skater. She suffered serious facial injuries when she was knocked to the
ground. Her 57-year-old husband also fell, dislocating his shoulder. Skateboarding is banned from Victoria’s core and offenders can face a $60 fine and have their skateboards confiscated.

The trial of Aleksandr Plehanov wrapped up Wednesday in Por t Coquitlam and a verdict isn’t expected until fall. in relation to two June 2010 incidents, when he was alleged to have been spotted sitting in his car outside of one of the girl’s homes. Helps did not concede that Plehanov was the man in the car on June 3 or 8, 2011 but said if it was him, it could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not in the area by coincidence. Plehanov’s lawyer made her final submissions on Wednesday, a day after Crown prose c u t o r We n dy Va n Tongeren made her closing statements. Now that both sides have completed their cases, Judge David St. Pierre he did not expect to have a decision on the matter until the fall. He said a combination of summer holidays and other trials he is overseeing meant the verdict would take longer than usual.

Administrators are trained to spot predators, Helps said, and the warnings from district staff were more indicative of a teacher having difficulties controlling his classroom. None of the district staff people who had issues with Plehanov’s behaviour said his conduct was of a sexualized nature and only became concerned after the sex allegations occurred, she added. “The carnal context has to be visible to a reasonable observer,� she said. “There is nothing here that sexualizes the conduct or behaviour. There was nothing sexualized in this classroom.� Helps referred specifically to testimony given by Elspeth Anjos, a learning innovations coordinator with School District 43, who said on the stand she had on two occasions witnessed Plehanov pulling a student onto his lap. Other teachers, Helps added, had also witnessed various acts that would have been “so brazen� if they were predatory. “This is not conduct that is particularly hidden,� Helps told the court. “Miss Anjos was in the class while this was going on.� Plehanov is facing five charges of sexual interference and five charges of sexual assault involving girls who were aged seven and eight at the time of the alleged incidents, which date back to January 2008. He is also facing a charge of criminal harassment

Coquitlam rioter gets house arrest Community service hours could be reduced By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Coquitlam man will avoid jail time for his role in last year’s Stanley Cup Riot in downtown Vancouver. Robert Snelgrove was sentenced to five months house arrest and 16 months probation after pleading guilty to one count of participating in a riot and one count of break and enter. The 25-year-old will also have to pay a $500 victim surcharge and is expected to serve his house arrest at his parents’ home in Coquitlam. Snelgrove admitted in court to stealing $150 worth of face cream from Sears while the riot was taking place, according to CKNW. Media also reported that Snelgrove could receive 50 hours of community service after the judge said the 150 hours he had imposed was out of proportion to sentences given other convicted rioters. He would have to apply for the reduction after his period of house arrest ends. The riot incident is not the first time Snelgrove has run into legal troubles. B.C.’s court services website shows that in April, he was charged along with two others with 10 counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking stemming from a drug raid on a home in December. His trial on those charges is expected to begin in Vancouver Provincial Court in January 2013. Since last year’s riot, a handful of Tri-City residents have faced

He was captured on surveillance cameras outside the Black and Lee tuxedo store, where he threw a mannequin and then a newspaper box at the window. Dickinson was on bail for an earlier assault charge at
the time of his arrest. Pat r i ck Ju d g e, a 25-year-old Port Moody resident, has also been charged with participating in a riot, one count of break and enter and two counts of mischief. And several young offenders who cannot be identified have also been arrested and are facing similar charges. According to the Va n c o u v e r P o l i c e Department’s Riot 2011 website (riot2011.vpd. ca), more than 120 rioters have been charged with Crown prosecutors considering charges for another 100.

That was a difficult enough pill to swallow but plastic surgeons also found their patients felt the nipple tattoo is a medical treatment they would rather have done by a nurse. “Most women don’t feel complete until they’ve had the nipple reconstruction and tattoo,� said Dr. Dao Nguyen, a Fraser Health plastic surgeon. She estimated that 85% of the 120 breast cancer patients she treated last year undergo immediate reconstruction following tumour removal. One in nine women will develop breast cancer, according to the BC Cancer Agency. The ERH surgeons asked Saunier to spearhead the tattoo clinic and she set about tracking down fellow nurses doing similar work. Turns out there’s only one in Victoria and one in Winnipeg — and both were trained by a nurse from Kentucky. Saunier, a surgical nurse at ERH for the past 14 years, went through the same training program and spent

“When you create an areola, it allows the woman to completely forget, even for a moment, that she’s had breast cancer.� Sandy Saunier time with a tattoo artist and aesthetician to learn what techniques they were using. Her own creative side helps, too. “It comes down to training but I used to paint and it helps when
it comes to choosing colours and making it look as real as possible,â€? Saunier said. That’s particularly important when Saunier is trying to match an existing breast for a woman who has had a single mastectomy. “People refer to it as icing on the cakeâ€? considering all the surgeries and procedures the woman has already been through, Saunier said, adding that the tattoo makes a woman feel “completeâ€? again. “When you walk out of the shower naked, only you see yourself‌ but when you create an areola, it allows the woman to completely forget, even for a moment, that she’s had
breast cancer.� The procedure itself can be therapeutic; it’s not often a patient has more than an hour to spend with a nurse or doctor, and Saunier is happy to hear the women’s stories and how breast cancer has changed their lives. “They tell me the most unbelievable stories about their families, their daughters, the husbands who left them and the amazing husbands who stayed, the jobs, the businesses lost, the bankruptcies. They’re concluding all their treatments and it’s amazingly beneficial to let them vent. They get my full attention, so it’s very therapeutic.� spayne@tricitynews.com

Big changes planned for Tri-City federal ridings Final maps will likely see further changes from proposals now

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City voters could be sending three — not two — MPs to the House of Commons in the fall of 2015. A proposal to add another federal riding to the region — and vastly change the two constituencies now held by the Conservatives’ James Moore and the NDP’s Fin Donnelly — was put forward this week by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia. The plan calls for splitting the TriCities roughly in half, using the Barnet and Lougheed highways as the general marker: Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam (population 103,632) to the north and Port Moody-Coquitlam (population 97,621) to
He added, “What you want is to have some sort of continuity of community identity.” Donnelly, who was elected in 2009, told The Tri-City News Thursday he plans to meet with members of his riding association today (Friday) about the proposal, which calls for more Coquitlam homes
and no New West ones in his riding. “It’s quite a significant change,” he said. “I haven’t determined where I would go if this becomes the final map... The choice would be Port Moody-Coquitlam or New WestminsterBurnaby.” see MAYOR, O , page g A9 9
The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia is suggesting the TriCities get a third riding. Above is the proposed riding of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam. the south. As well, south Port Coquitlam would be par t of a new Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge riding (population 96,956) — with a sliver, west of Shaughnessy Street, part of PoMoCoquitlam.

Donnelly said the existing boundary, encompassing the three cities, made sense to him personally as he was born in New West, raised in PoMo and spent the latter part of his life in Coquitlam, including as a city councillor. Like Moore, he believes the proposed redistribution map won’t
be the final one. PoCo Mayor Gre g Moore said he plans to make a submission to the commission. “We’re not happy that Port Coquitlam would be split into three,” he said, adding the city’s federal representation would be ineffective. “It doesn’t serve our residents well.” The realignment is in response to the re-

ourmands who like to dine al fresco can head down to Rocky Point Park this summer — but bring your own handy wipes. Four food carts will be parked on the waterfront to compete with Pajo’s, the Boathouse restaurant and the Rocky Point Ice Cream and Cafe. Starting this Sunday, diners can try some unique delicacies by This Little Piggy, Gourmet Hotties, Hottie Panzerotti and Old Country Pierogi. The fare should be tasty, with menus including pulled-pork sandwiches, game meat hot dogs and pastas. Problem is, there’s some uncertainty as to what kind of utensils will be provided. Will they be recyclable and biodegradable? The lack of detail nearly scuttled the plan but, thankfully, council recognized that most people who eat outdoors are prepared for messy eating — and will bring their own napkins, even the non-bleached kind, if necessary.

Let RCMP have its mess hall – and booze AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz
T
here’s nothing wrong with the RCMP having a fully licensed mess hall — where alcohol will be served — in its new E Division headquarters, now being built in Surrey. I know there are many others who feel the opposite but the tradition of a mess hall is deeply rooted in military and police circles, and it serves an important purpose. In both types of work, it is essential for members to work as an integral part of a team and be ready take orders in challenging situations without question. Having a place to gather socially is part of building that important team. That’s why a mess hall is used for police regimental dinners, retirements, special events and commendation ceremonies. It is also important for members of the commu-
2012 CCNA
nity who attend these events to see how the RCMP operate as a team because as a unified team, any police force or military unit is much stronger and more effective. I once attended a retirement lunch for the officer in charge of a Lower Mainland RCMP detachment. It was exactly the type of event that would take place in the planned mess hall. It was a wonderful gathering, with colleagues from various parts of Canada coming to pay tribute to an individual who was clearly well-respected by his fellow RCMP officers. He was also well-respected by media, which is why I was there. His commitment to the force in remote corners of Canada such as the Northwest Territories spoke volumes about him as an individual and the force he was part of for many years. This particular event took place in a smaller gathering space and while the venue was nice, such an event in an RCMP mess hall would have been far more appropriate. Much of the turmoil that has surrounded

“Public trust in the RCMP has dropped sharply. In fact, that is likely the main reason the mess hall issue has made the news and attracted public interest.” Frank Bucholtz the RCMP in recent years has been the direct result of team members such as Cpl. Monty Robinson going rogue and operating in a way that is not at all conducive to building a strong and effective team. An inability to properly discipline these individuals, which is largely due to the RCMP Act, has made things even worse. Public trust in the RCMP has dropped sharply. In fact, that is likely the main reason the
mess hall issue has made the news and attracted public interest. If the RCMP were operating in the manner that most of us would like to see, such a proposal would be of minimal interest. The mess hall will be open for limited hours and free taxi rides will be available for members who have had too much to drink. These rides are paid for by individuals through membership fees, not by taxpayers. Given the legitimate concern the public has about drinking and driving, and police’s role in enforcing impaired driving laws, there should be absolutely no tolerance of any RCMP member driving from the mess hall with more than the legal blood alcohol content. If those conditions are followed, I see no reason why the licensed mess hall should not go ahead. Frank Bucholtz is the editor of The Langley Times, a Black Press sister paper of The Tri-City News.

FACE TO FACE: Does the BC Liberals’ net-zero mandate make economic sense?
Greece should try net-zero W
hile there’s a lot to complain about when it comes to the Christy Clark government, the BC Liberals deserve credit for their principled stance against the growing costs of the public sector. In 2010, in response to the biggest worldwide economic slowdown since the depression, the BC Liberals appropriately introduced a net-zero bargaining policy. Net-zero means the government would only fund increases in a given contract if they could find savings within existing provisions. That temporary policy, however, hasn’t stopped the unions from asking for the moon. The BCGEU, for example, is asking the government for a wage increase of more than 3%. Last fall, the BC Teachers’ Federation made ridiculous opening demands totalling $2.184 billion. And, contrary to union propaganda, the government has been very fair to organized labour in the past. In 2002, a deal imposed by the BC Liberals gave BCTF members a 7.5% wage hike over three years. In 2006, they signed a deal with raises ranging from 14% to 21.5% over five years and a signing bonus. A 29% increase over eight years? Very few in the private sector have
ANDY RADIA
received those types of increases during the past decade. The BC Liberals are now asking the unions to accept less as a way to help the province through these difficult economic times. It’s an exercise in short-term pain for long-term gain that’s taking place in almost every jurisdiction in the world. My colleague opposite has railed against BC Liberal government priorities that he considers a waste of money. I agree with him — at this point, we need to consider all austerity measures. Where we disagree, however, is that there is an endless supply of money to throw at the public service. Greece — an almost bankrupt country — is a case study proving such spendthrift polices don’t work. For the last three decades, Greek governments, primarily socialist in nature, have spent far beyond their means, especially when it came to the country’s public sector. Certainly, there are other reasons for Greece’s financial woes: government corruption, rampant tax evasion and the monetary constraints forced on them by the European Union, to name just a few. The underlying culprit, however, was a lack of fiscal discipline. In British Columbia, fiscal discipline begins with net-zero.

emember the 1990s expression “Talk to the hand”? It was Bart Simpson’s favourite way of saying, “I refuse to listen to whatever it is you’re saying, so you may as well shut up.” That’s what the B.C. government’s net-zero mandate is: a disrespectful, Bart Simpson-esque, talkto-the-hand refusal to bargain. Net-zero — or its respectable name, Mandate 2010 — is the right’s best let-’em-eat-cake excuse since trickle down economics, which has lost plausibility everywhere but in U.S. red states, Alberta and the mind of one Face to Face columnist. Net-zero is not actually a bargaining strategy but a political strategy, and it has served our anti-labour BC Liberal government well. Convincing a pummelled working class that other workers are the problem has worked. It has divided workers, encouraging them to work to lower the lot of public sector workers rather than to improve the lot of private sector workers. It encourages a proverbial race to the bottom. And pitting private against public sector workers deflects attention from our real fiscal problem, the crippling removal of billions
from tax revenues in the 2002 tax cuts for the rich. How effective has net-zero been? Teachers went to 76 “bargaining” sessions and were told 76 times to talk to the hand. They watched a vindictive back-to-work Bill 22 remove their right to political action. The BC Liberals then upped the ante, appointing an non-objective third-party mediator armed with a freshly minted law that mandated him to do nothing but — guess what — have teachers talk to the hand. Teachers knew that settling for nothing now would pre-empt threatened back-to-work legislation containing God knows what kind of retribution, so they agreed to accept more education cuts and no money. And yet teachers are accused of not being willing to bargain. That’s how well net-zero has worked for this BC Liberal government. In fact, net-zero has worked so well in punishing workers that I’m hoping the government expands the program and adopts a net-zero policy when speaking about tax cuts for the rich. Had the Libs told the rich to talk to the hand in 2002, B.C. would have saved $3.4 billion.

The Editor, Re. “Canada Day made mess at Lafarge Lake & park” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 4). I’m sorry the letter writer, Helen Smyth, didn’t join her friends and neighbours to celebrate the birth of our nation at Lafarge Lake for Canada Day. I can assure her that the event was wonderfully planned and attended. My children had an awesome time. They have their Cantonese letters on their wall and the Korean clay pots made by a master artisan will be treasures all three of them will keep for a long time. I’m sorry some people made a mess but I’m afraid if we stopped events because of the small minority of troublemakers, there wouldn’t be any events in Coquitlam. Thank you to all the sponsors and to the city for a fun, well-organized and proud celebration of Canada. F u r t h e r, I went for a walk Wednesday morning and the hardworking city staff had Lafarge looking perfect. Chris Verbeek, Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “Riverview Stories” (The Tri-City News, June 29 and July 4). The grounds of Riverview contain some of the most beautiful gardens in Coquitlam. Gardens are full of healing therapy. Why not tur n Riverview into a naturopathic healing centre as well as a major post secondary school or university? The land and buildings are already there. What a beautiful school it could be. The land should never be paved. It is a paradise. The current grassy settings as well as Colony Farm could be turned into giant fields and gardens where we could grow all sorts of organic trees, fruits vegetables, herbs, flowers, plants, whatever necessary. The school/university would also produce essential oils and naturopathic remedies that
could be used within the clinic or sold to the community or online. This school/university/medical centre could include all forms of non-traditional medical doctors as well. The buildings could be restored and upgraded. Local schools could participate in voluntary hours of participation as well as provide scholarships. Secondary school students could begin apprenticeships either in natural healing or carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting, tiling, gardening, landscaping, horticulture, etc. The post-secondary school would embrace all cultures of naturopathic medicine. We could create jobs. The profits from the gardens would raise money for the university as well as provide a natural source of food and naturopathic remedies/ medicine within our very own city.

Korean war stamp will not be issued Three year effort to mark 60th anniversary comes to an end A Port Moody man has lost his battle to get a Korean war stamp on the eve of what would have been the 59th anniversary of an armistice agreement reached in July 1953. Despite three years of effort, Guy Black failed to get a commemorative stamp issued next year — marking the 60th anniversary of the war — and received notice in the least dignified manner possible: a form letter. “That is what I expected. That’s what you get,� said
Black, who wanted a stamp honouring the 26,000 Canadians who fought in the Korean War and the 516 who lost their lives as well as recognition of Canada’s contribution in the international dispute. Black faced an uphill battle from the start because Canada Post doesn’t typically issue similar stamps in close proximity to one another but he said he hoped the policy would be waived because Korean War vets won’t be around for the 75th or 100th anniversaries. “It’s the last chance,� he said, noting that many veterans are in their 80s. “That’s why I did the campaign, because it was the last kick at the can.� dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

But Peterman said the newest analysis shows the pattern of declining productivity has spread northward to more watersheds over time. “That trend of spreading northward is indicative of possibly climate-driven processes that become more extreme in the south first and work their way north,” he said. “The evidence is much stronger than it was.” The theory of a fish food

shortage on the high seas is backed in part because sockeye have tended to return significantly underweight in recent years. The food supply is expected to decline as the ocean warms. But Peterman noted increased competition for the same food supply is another possibility. The number of pink salmon feeding in the same area of the north Pacific has more than doubled, largely the result of “ranching” of pinks by Russians and Alaskans.

towards the sockeye or increasing their vulnerability to pathogens, he said. The culprit could also be affecting sockeye in freshwater, Peterman added. A pathogen — either naturally occurring or spread by fish farms — could be amplified by climate changes and infecting sockeye in rivers that later die at sea. Preliminary findings were presented in 2011 to the Cohen Inquiry, which reports in the fall with recommendations on halting

Sockeye salmon along the west coast are producing far fewer returning offspring than in the past and the SFU fishery scientists who have documented the trend say it suggests climate change may be a factor.

both pristine and heavily disturbed watersheds points to non-local “shared mechanisms” as the more probable cause, rather than river-specific logging or pollution. “It’s much more likely that what’s causing these changes is occurring over a large area,” said Peterman, a professor in SFU’s School of Resource and Environmental Management. Warming oceans could be reducing the salmon food supply in the north Pacific, sending more predators

One big move in Port Moody THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tonight at midnight, one of Port Moody’s older and more distinguished homes will be moved to a new address and homeowners in the area may be affected. Noise and power outages are possible as the house moves from its current location at 2714 Clarke St. to 126 Kyle St. and BC Hydro is expected to contact residents if their power will be disrupted. “They’re hoping to not have any power o u t a g e, ” s a i d c i t y spokesperson Jillian McCavour, but she said 24-hour notice would be given. The re-location of C e n t e n n i a l H o u s e, for merly known as Appleyard House, is one of the longest and most complex in the city in recent years. But movers Pridy Bros. House Moving are confident they can transport the large Edwardian home safely because they’ve done hundreds of similar moves over the years. Shamus Pridy explained that the house had to be placed on a grid of steel planks and will be moved on wheels attached to a truck. Although the house is tall and nearly 100 years old, it is in good shape, having been reinforced by its previous owners, the Heritage House Pizza Co. It has already been moved once — possibly twice — before. “This house has been seriously upgraded,” Pridy said. “A lot of money has been put into it.” His brother, Leif Pridy, agreed that there are no structural concerns with the home and said it would make a great addition to the city arts precinct once it has been relocated. Still, there are challenges. Weather — one of the big concer ns — was less of a worry when the sun returned Wednesday, making it possible to temporarily lower utility wires to accommodate the move. Scheduling and finalizing the details to make sure everything goes smoothly as planned was another challenge. City project manager James Chandler expressed assurances that the move would go ahead with few problems. “The people involved are experts,” he said. In fact, as many as 20

people from five companies and the city will be involved in the move, which will take about six hours, starting at midnight. First, Moody Street, then St. Johns will have to be closed to make way for the move but drivers will be alerted to the closure by signs and city traffic managers, Chandler said. The cost of the moving contract is about $41,000 and Centennial House will be moved to a temporary location, where it will sit for between six and nine months for a permanent foundation to be built. Then, Pridy Bros will return to place the building on new foundations, where it will remain. T he city of Por t Moody took over the building from the province to make way for the Evergreen Line. Built in 1913, the house is valued for its association with Frederick Appleyard, who acquired the house around 1914, worked in the lumber industry and served on the Port Moody city council in 1917. • Find out more about the project on the city’s website, www.portmoody. ca.

PoCo planned for industry – 100 years ago YOUR HISTORY Bryan Ness “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” – Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi (1970)
B
ack in May 2011, we looked at Port Coquitlam’s west side and saw how the area is slowly changing with the times. Today, we’ll journey to the northeast sector of town, where a flurry of development is happening around the Fremont Village/Dominion Triangle area. Once a pastoral landscape of farms and meadows, that area is giving way to highway commercial, light industrial and residential use. Ironically, this was the original plan for the northeast area 100 years ago, when Port Coquitlam was to become “The Industrial City.” In April 1913, the Toronto Weekly Globe published an article stating “Level land in a ‘Sea of Mountains’ is more valuable than in any part of the Dominion. Considering there are 6,000 acres of level territory, with more than 6 miles of frontage on Pitt
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Clockwise from top left: A page from a May 1912 edition of the Coquitlam Star about “The Industrial City.” Farms in northeast Port Coquitlam in 1913. And Percy Jackson and son Bob in 1917; with his family, Jackson ran a small dairy farm on Dominion Avenue. River, the possibilities are unlimited.” To access the sawmills and grain elevators planned along the Pitt, a rail spur line was laid down beginning at the CP Rail yards on Coast Meridian Road and running northeast through the neighbouring farms to the river. Historical records show little activity along this line as the projected development never materialized, and the tracks were lifted before the middle of the
20th century. Let’s take a closer look at some of the farms in the area and their history. Ed and Minnie Thatcher arrived in 1906 and had a large farm just west of the Pitt Bridge. Ed also worked for the Foundation Company in 1913, building the CPR’s new swing-span bridge to replace the old wooden one that was staffed in the early days by bridge tender John Ross. He and
wife Sarah Bailey had a daughter, Alice Ross Carriere Heckbert, who was born in 1884 and witnessed much change in Port Coquitlam before her passing in 1988 — literally, from sawmill to skyscraper. Percy Jackson and his family moved from Brandon, Man. in 1916 and ran a small dairy farm on Dominion Avenue for a few years, and were relatives of the Thatchers. The Jacksons later moved to the old
Jesse Flint homestead near Oxford and Prairie Avenue, which was the first house built north of the CPR mainline in 1887; the house was still standing well into the 1960s. George Willcox and his brother Harry emigrated from England to Port Coquitlam around the time of incorporation in 1913 and each owned dairy farms, George to the south of Dominion Avenue and Harry to the north,
around Burns Road. They delivered milk to customers in Port Moody and Ioco until they sold their farms to the Shymkowich and Sawyer families around 1940. Other farmers in the area were Andy Kleven, John Riley and Peter Fleming, who all bought acreage after retiring from Imperial Oil. Ted Poirier had a 15-acre dairy farm in the Dominion Triangle area and when he needed help, his niece
Alice LeRoux and her husband George moved from Maillardville to the farm in 1945. George LeRoux bought more property in the area in subsequent years and eventually owned a total of 53 acres, part of which he developed into a wildlife sanctuary. Three small ponds connected by streams held thousands of fingerlings and a penned corral hosted 50 wild geese and 100 ducks. When Alice died in 1964, he landscaped a beautiful “garden of memories” with the flowers she loved. George LeRoux passed away in 1988. The new development happening in the Dominion Triangle will be an enormous boost to our rapidly growing community, with plenty of business and employment opportunities. The “Industrial City” has indeed arrived, albeit 100 years later than originally planned. And no doubt complete with a boutique and a swinging hot spot. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Bryan Ness is with the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society.

Plywood plus paint spruce up PM school By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A new outdoor gallery space has been established in the most unlikely place — a concrete retaining wall in front of Heritage Mountain elementary school. For nearly two decades, a concrete cinderblock wall stared like a blank face at the Port Moody school until a collaboration of teachers, students and local artist Tammy Pilon turned it into a canvas for 12 colourful works of art. Last week, before school finished for the year, the school held a celebration for the art installation and welcomed family, friends, school trustees and other supporters to the event. “It’s given us a sense of pride and a sense of ourselves,” Craig Mah, the school’s principal, said of the remarkable transformation of the retaining wall from a dull, grey surface to a colourful play and work space. The 12 painted plywood panels show typical Port Moody scenes, such as Newport Village, Rocky Point Park and city hall, as well as plants and animals that live in the area. Pilon said the students brainstor med ideas about the images and then drew them using photographs as inspiration. “I think it’s really amazing that we are leaving behind a legacy that
will be here for years to come,” said Grade 4 student Anja Frohnsdorf, who painted one of the panels. “People who used to walk through here never stopped to look. Now they will because it’s beautiful,” said her friend, Rula Hasan, who is in Grade 4 and another one of the student painters. In all, 28 students worked in small groups on the plywood paintings. Teacher Carleen Liski said with the paintings now installed, the corridor from her portable to the school will be more usable for educational purposes. For example, the students plan to get rid of the weeds in the planter that fronts the retaining wall and start a community garden. “It’s made this a more special place,” Liski said. Teacher Sue Ewart said Heritage Mountain staff wanted to do something with the space for years but she jumpstarted the process this year by seeking grants for paint and supplies. She studied art with Pilon and thought she would make an ideal facilitator; Breakfast Television provided a $1,000 grant and the school’s parent advisory council raised $600 by raffling off the best seats in the house for the Christmas concert. “It’s fantastic,” she said of the final product. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Make the most of the season – salmon season MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis Salmon day at market is July 15
I
t’s salmon time at the market. The Fraser is teeming with sockeye and we are all eagerly trying to get our fill. While sockeye is the epitome of salmon perfection, there are four other species that are well worth getting to know. Each has characteristics and a season unto itself and, because of that, we are able to enjoy it all year. A visit to Port Hardy Seafood at the Coquitlam Farmers Market will get you tastes of all of them as well as a ton of information about all the other bounty the sea has to offer. For now, we’ll focus on the other varieties so read all about them in the boxes at right.
COOKING TIPS
Please note: For all varieties of fish, fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork. Better that it be a bit underdone than overdone and dry, so check often. (Further information on BC Salmon is available at www.bcsalmon.ca.)

Different salmon and methods Try out any or all of B.C.’s salmon species:
CHINOOK
The largest of all B.C. salmon, the chinook is also known as spring. Its firm flesh makes it ideal for grilling and baking. It is readily available in both the spring and fall. Try a light marinade before putting it on the grill: Combine ¼ C soya sauce, ½ C brown sugar, 1/3 C olive oil, 1/3 C rye whiskey and 2 cloves crushed garlic. Pour over salmon steaks or fillets and marinate three to four hours before cooking. Your taste buds will thank you.
CHUM
Chum is a smaller, milder salmon with a lower fat content. It runs from June to October and is fabulous for canning. To keep it moist
while cooking, a topping of either plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise keeps the flavour and moisture in. Mix either of these with some green onion and a bit of lemon zest, spread on top of a fillet and broil the fillet for eight to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the fillet. Yumm-o!
COHO
The lively coho are prized by sport fishers and by chefs who appreciate the fine texture and rich colour of the flesh. Make the most of coho by cooking it in parchment. On a 12x12 piece of cooking parchment, layer lemon slices, salmon steaks or fillets, salt and pepper and a couple of sprigs of fresh dill. Top it off with more lemon slices. Close the parchment, sealing the fish up in a packet. Bake in a 450 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
fish flakes easily with a fork.
PINK
Pink salmon are the smallest of all the wild salmon. They are abundant and inexpensive compared to many of the other species but prepared properly, equally tasty. The pink’s mild flavour makes it a versatile fish. I like to prepare it whole and save the leftovers for salmon burgers or salmon sandwiches. Baked or grilled on the barbecue with a flavourful stuffing makes a delightful dish. Try sautéing finely diced peppers, leeks, garlic and shredded zucchini seasoned with 1 tsp of fleur de sel with herbes d’Provence. Stuff into the middle of the salmon and wrap the whole thing in foil. Bake in a 400 F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on size of salmon.

As well, sometimes when we take advantage of the bounty of salmon, we cook too much. Here’s one way to make the most of the leftovers: For a fast salmon burger, mince 2 C of leftover salmon with ¼ C bread crumbs, 1 egg, 2 tbsp ranch dressing and form into patties. Fry in a lightly oiled pan. Serve on a bun with lettuce, tomato and more ranch dressing.

Annual Reading with kids is just one way to help them retain literacy skills over the summer that they’ve developed during the school year, according to ABC Life Literacy Canada.
Showand
family day
JUPITERIMAGES
Summer activities can help kids retain literacy skills Summer is here and parents and kids are excited about summer vacation. But just because school’s out doesn’t mean children should take a vacation from learning, according to a release from ABC Life Literacy Canada, a nonprofit organization. Research shows that children who don’t read over the summer lose some of the literacy skills they learned during the year and have a difficult time adjusting to school in the fall. ABC Life Literacy Canada offered the following tips for parents to help keep kids’ literacy
skills sharp through the summer: • Follow a recipe together and make a dish for a summer picnic. It’s a fun way for your family to practise reading, math and comprehension. • T h i s s u m m e r ’s Olympic Games offer many learning opportunities. Count the medals Canada receives, research a sport like fencing or map out the city of London. • Road trip! When travelling in the car, read signs, billboards and licence plates together and show your children how to find your destination using a map.
• Head to the beach with a good book. Not only are there some great summer reads but children learn from their parents, so let them catch you reading. • Zoo outings and visits to museums and galleries can be fun and educational. Be sure to read all the descriptions on exhibits and displays. • Don’t forget to write. Send friends and relatives postcards from different places along the way or, better yet, send one to yourself as a visual reminder of your trip. • Bring some board games for a family game night while on holidays
— board games are a fun way to improve literacy skills. • On a rainy day, surf the internet for information on kids’ hobbies or the latest summer movies. • Create a family trip mini-blog to share with friends and family; it’s easy using services such as tumblr.com. • Scrap it: Build a book of memories during your trip; tape in pictures, souvenir tickets and brochures and ask family members to write in comments and captions. For more literacy tips and activities, visit www. abclifeliteracy.ca.

Finally, time to garden IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
F
inally, it looks like summer is here and even though it’s July, there’s still time to plant lots of food crops and enjoy those delicious summer flavours. Even if you just have containers, it’s fun to plant a salad garden with lettuce, especially the wonderful blends of ‘Simply Salad’, cherry tomatoes like ‘Tumbler’ and cucumbers like the burpless and bush types. By using transplants, particularly the bigger ones in pots, you’ll be surprised how quickly you will be enjoying your own fresh produce. In the summer heat, they will grow so fast you’ll be amazed. Peppers are playing a far larger role in our cuisine these days and there are lots of bigger potted ones available for quick and lasting crops. Today, the trend is towards hot peppers and they produce far more quickly than the bell types. New ‘hotties’ like ‘Chenzo’ and ‘Loco’ produce colourful bite-sized fruits that will certainly spice up any Asian, Spanish or Mexican culinary creation. They thrive in the ground or in containers, as do all peppers. Did you know the average Canadian eats 73 lb. (33 kg) of potatoes each year? Well, we all know how great fresh potatoes taste, especially ones from your own garden. If you can still find some seed potatoes, planting them is still okay. Some growers are even doing started seed potatoes in pots for a quick catch up. For summer crops of all the brassicas, like kale, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, transplants are available. Make sure you get the mid-season and late varieties for the best quality and check that the transplants are fresh and vegetative, not old and hard looking. It’s the last call for Brussel sprouts to ensure you’ll get those beautiful sprouts for winter
and Christmas dinners. Feed all brassicas with something like a 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 fertilizer to get them off to a fast vegetative start. Beans love the heat and whether you plant them as seeds or better yet at this late date, as transplants, you’ll be surprised how quickly they’ll grow and provide wonderful tender beans this fall. If you’re space challenged, pole beans produce amazingly well in limited room. Leafy crops, like Swiss chard and spinach, will grow like weeds now. ‘New Zealand’ spinach is the most heat tolerant and climbing ‘Malabar’ spinach loves the heat and will grow amazingly fast up anything you provide for this vigourous vine. Speaking of vines, sweet potatoes must have heat for success and if you can find them, they are a wonderful addition to your fall and winter culinary delights. Root crops, like carrots, beets, parsnips and turnips, can all go in now for late summer and fall harvest. Peas love cool weather, but the heat resistant ‘Wanda’ pea and the sugar snap types are the best summer varieties. You can also get transplants for a 2-3 week head start. We’ve all waited so long to get our basil growing in pots and in our garden. Well to flavour up our summer dishes, now’s the time to set it out along with all our other herbs. Everbearing strawberries and raspberries, planted now, will start producing in just a few weeks and will continue all summer long, even when planted in containers. Potted rhubarb, grapes, currants, blueberries, gooseberries and thornless blackberries can be set out now for a taste this year and ‘wow’ production for years to come. They take so little space and with a bit of training, they can be both beautiful and bountiful. With summer here, there is still time to have a great garden. So let’s get growing and enjoying the fresh flavours of summer in our own gardens and containers.

Bosa a Propeerties brings parking innovation to Jameson House
king without the hassle Bosa Properties is bringing innovation to one of life’s little annoyances with its automated parking system at its Jameson House development in Coal Harbour. “The parking garage would have been 12 levels” if Bosa had gone with a conventional parking system, says Senior Vice-President Daryl Simpson. There are 250 parking spots in the development, and two transfer stations to move the cars. Simpson says the wait time to park and retrieve the car is about two minutes, but it depends on how many others are waiting. “It’s quicker than driving around and around,” he says, adding that this
system is the first of its kind in Canada, and the second-largest in North America. Homeowners pull into the garage and drive their car onto one of the stations. Then, you lock their car and type in your PIN. You can then go up to your home while the machines move the car into one of the spaces below. When you want to retrieve your car, you go back to the garage and type in your PIN. Your car will appear, and you’re on your way. The homes at Jameson House are now sold out, but with the popularity of the automated parking system, it’s only a matter of time until the technology is used elsewhere.
adjust the thermostat and view the inside of your home from a video camera in the centre of the home. The Lakefront homes include some upgrades as standard items, including hardwood floors on the main level and granite countertops in the kitchen, among several other things. The screened porches at the Cottages are referred to as summer rooms, and overlook the landscape. They are perfect for a mid-summer snooze, catching up with a good book or a quiet cup of coffee watching the sunrise. There is no shortage of ways to wile away your time in Osoyoos. The surrounding area itself is rich in things to do, from touring the amazing nearby wineries to floating around on Osoyoos Lake. Hiking and biking trails are
abundant, or you can book a round of golf at one of the golf courses. If you’re around in the winter, winter sports on Mount Baldy are only about 40 minutes away, or you can venture a bit farther afield to Penticton’s Apex Mountain. The price has been one of the biggest draws for people who have already purchased a cottage. “Where else could you get a 930-square-foot detached home, a three-minute barefoot walk from the lake for under $305,000, including all applicable taxes?” asks Van Maren. “Our prices are lower than many new apartment condos that aren’t even on the water.” Cottages start at $305,000. For more information, visit osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.
Spending the summer at the cottage
Waterfront living at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake by Kerry Vital
Whether you’re looking for a vacation spot for the whole family or a place to retire after years of hard work, you need look no further than The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, located right on the shores of the beautiful lake. “We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren, Partner of Van Maren Construction Group. “Most people from B.C., and many from Alberta, are familiar with Osoyoos and have vacationed there in the past. A property like The Cottages just can’t be purchased in the Okanagan.” With over 1,500 feet of waterfront, 500 feet of beach, two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse, 20 acres of lawn, boat slips and walking trails, the Cottages are the perfect spot for families of all sizes. There are three different styles of home available, Van Maren says, and thus truly something for everyone. “The Meadow homes are most appealing for second-home buyers,” he says. “They have lots of open space between the homes where younger children can play with newly made friends. You’re never more than a few minutes walk to the lake and clubhouse.” The Lakeside homes are made for people who want to live right on the water, while the Hillside homes appeal to those looking for somewhere to live year-round, and are larger. There are 14 different two- to four-bedroom floorplans to choose from, ranging from 1,281 square feet

including the screened porch and open deck to over 3,000 square feet. Expansive windows on every home and cottage let the natural light pour in and allow you a beautiful view of your surroundings, while the nine-foot ceilings contribute to a great sense of space, no matter the floorplan or how many visitors you have. You will never feel cramped in the homes at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. All of the homes offer wood-clad vaulted ceilings. Vinyl-plank flooring throughout the main living space (with hardwood as an optional upgrade) is ready to stand up to plenty of foot traffic, while the plush carpeting on the upper floors is soft and luxurious. Each home includes a Wireless Smart Home Automation/Security system, which allows you to remotely access your cottage from your smartphone, computer or tablet. It gives you the ability to lock or unlock your doors,

The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake feature wood-clad vaulted ceilings, above, and vinyl-plank flooring thoughout the main living areas, left. Outside, the expansive windows let the light pour in. Many homes are just a barefoot walk from the lake, top, making them the perfect vacation spot.

t’s been more than two years — and the birth of a baby — since I’ve been to the gym and let’s just say the results of such inactivity are, well, not good. So it was without hesitation that I jumped at the chance to work with a personal trainer at the Port Moody recreation complex over the next six months in an effort to banish the post-baby body woes. It doesn’t hurt that the rec centre, built in 2008, offers a lovely gym with plenty of natural light and views to Inlet Park, loads of classes to choose from and — my favourite — a huge hot tub. Here’s how the first few weeks have gone:
while toning quadriceps and hamstrings. I was intrigued so, for my third spinning class in Port Moody, I brought two co-workers — both of whom are much healthier than I and more experienced with the exercise. The Monday 4 p.m. class was relatively busy, with only a few reserved seats available, as is the case on many rainy days. Even before the instructor walked in and cranked up the ’80s and ’90s tunes, the weighted flywheels whirled as riders equipped with water bottles and towels warmed up.
WEEK 1 It’s 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, June 5 and since I’m still at home, that means I’m running late. Again. I am furiously rummaging through drawers searching for gym-appropriate clothing when I realize it’s probably not a good sign that I can’t even remember where, or when, I last saw them. Today is my first appointment with the PoMo rec centre trainer who will be guiding (pummelling?) me gently (like a drill sergeant?) on the road back to something resembling fitness. It’s a state I haven’t seen since I was a university under-grad. I won’t say how long ago that was, other than it was back when email seemed like a fad that would soon pass. Since then, exercise and I have had an on-again, off-again relationship. Mostly off. And that’s a problem when your relationship with food — the cheesier and more chocolatey the better — is pretty much always on. When I do exercise, it’s mainly because I’ve noticed the waistline of my pants is getting... strained. It would probably help if, while I was exercising, I wasn’t also planning what I would be able to eat later because, hey, look at all the calories I was burning! Since my under-grad heyday, I have managed to complete the BMO Vancouver half marathon in 2009 with a decent time, and was aiming to do a full marathon the following year. Then along came a baby and, wow, does that ever do strange things to your body. So here I am on a June afternoon, face-to-face with the petite, yet formidable Kari Werner, the trainer who promises she will encourage (not pound) me back into pre-baby shape.

I
nspired by recent mayors’ campaigns in Metro Vancouver and Toronto to shed the pounds and get fit, I walked into a spin class at the Port Moody recreation complex, set up the saddle, strapped my sneakers into the pedals and prayed I would make it through the next 45 minutes. It’s not the first time I had been to one of these sessions. Earlier this year, while my preschooler was in a spring break camp at the rec centre, I dropped in on an indoor cycling class to see what the hype was all about.
A few moms had told me they had lost all their baby fat in three months just spinning two or three times a week. I checked it out online and, indeed, spinning enthusiasts claim you can burn up to 500 calories per session

Riding Help towards wellness (hard) to hits of ’80s continued from page A45
As he surveyed the co-ed group before starting, the instructor spoke about the need for proper posture and leg extension (lower back and knee problems are the most common injuries for spinning participants). Often, during the class, he would turn down the music to reinforce his message about good technique. The warm-up, consisting of constant pedalling but no upper body movement, lasted a few songs before we launched into a timed sprint. Soon, we cranked the resistance (riders control their own intensity level to suit their respective abilities). And with each song came another turn of the knob, much like riding up a hill. Soon, we were standing on the pedals, using the handlebars for leverage and pedalling for 60 seconds. I broke a sweat in the third set and glanced at the clock on the wall: Only 20 minutes had passed. No problem, I told myself, as we eased into a slower tempo with a Michael Jackson hit. At this time, the instructor reminded us to keep our bodies quiet and not to bounce. Then he toured the group to review our body alignments and the heights of our seats, which should be level with the hip when standing next to the cycle. He returned to his bike and, again, we dialled up the tension, sprinting at a high resistance level. My heart thumped harder with every pedal turn. I closed my eyes and dreamt of having a leaner, meaner body. Before I knew it, a Moby instrumental was guiding us through the cool-down and we stretched our hamstrings. I felt energized, motivated and proud of myself. I looked at my co-workers, who also looked happy. On my way out, I checked the schedule. I’ll be back, I thought, Wednesday at 4 p.m. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Reporter’s biggest exercise enemy is scheduling continued from page A45
The hour-long session went smoothly and I left with a self-satisfied grin knowing it hadn’t been nearly as hellacious as I’d predicted. Ahem. For the next three days, on muscles screaming out in abject horror, I wobbled around the office like some kind of herkyjerky Frankenstein, much to the amusement of my co-workers. Lesson learned, Kari, lesson learned. WEEK 3 Deeply humbled, I meet with Kari for our second session and admit to being in vastly worse shape than I’d thought. Not to worry, she assures me, the first week is always the toughest and it can only get better from here. She proceeds to quickly shift the workout I’m about to do after I reveal that I have not, in fact, done the required two to three gym sessions on my own. It’s a mistake I silently vow not to repeat. By the third session, I’m on to Kari’s tricks. I’ve been to the gym, done the workouts. Heck, I’ve even been out for an early morning run, so I figure there can’t be too much punishment in store for me. The next hour reminds me that: 1) I’m pretty klutzy (hello, side-to-side jumping and medicine ball twists) and 2) having a baby does strange things to one’s abdominal muscles. I’m pretty sure mine have disappeared, never to be seen or called upon again for all of the bizarre permutations of the standard sit-up that a personal trainer can concoct. Nevertheless, I am already sensing improvement, and am able to challenge myself by doing extra sets and increasing the weights in some exercises. Take that, Kari. Later in the week I hear a couple of co-workers will be attending the 4 p.m. spin class and I decide to tag along. Here’s how it went: 4:10 p.m. — Questioning what possessed me to attend the 4 p.m. spin class, wondering if anyone will notice me sneak out. 4:20 p.m. — Burning. All I feel is burning. 4:25 p.m. — Notice our indomitable adver-
tising representative Marianne LaRochelle, who is spinning beside me, has some seriously fast legs. 4:30 p.m. — Notice that everyone else in the class is sweating profusely and that I am not. I am under no illusions this means I might be the fittest one here. 4:35 p.m. — Notice fellow reporter Janis Warren, on the bike in front of me, is talking into her digital recorder, doing mid-spin journalism, and realize this means she’s actually capable of coherent thought right now. 4:45 p.m. — The instructor raises his arms to stretch. Hallelujah, the end is nigh. THE LESSONS What have I learned in the past few weeks? My biggest enemy is scheduling. Between work, a daily commute between Vancouver and Port Coquitlam and juggling everything that goes along with a nearly two-year-old toddler, life is busy. But getting to the gym can be done, as long as I make it a priority. Kari’s advice for anyone planning to get back into shape after a long fitness hiatus is to not overhaul everything at once. Start slow and make incremental changes to your exercise and eating habits, otherwise you’re setting yourself up for failure, she says. “People try to do too much all at one time and they often get frustrated when they don’t see the results they want in a very short period of time and they give up,� Werner explained. Creating a plan that works best for you as an individual is what will work best, she adds. Not sure where to start? Werner advises you see a trainer who can keep your workouts varied and offer direction, proper instruction on specific exercises and, most of all, motivation. “Especially for women, resistance or weight training is really important,� Werner said. Too often, women focus solely on cardio exercises, thinking it will help them get to their goal more quickly. “But they overlook the necessity of weight training, especially as we age. It’s really important for bone density and activating those muscle fibres.�
And if your biggest goal is to lose weight, here’s the hard truth: “Seventy-five per cent of where your results are going to come from is what’s on your fork,� Werner said. “Being active is very important but... you are what you eat. That’s a big piece that people don’t want to talk about or acknowledge, that they may have to sacrifice things and they
don’t really want to hear that.� The biggest obstacle to eating right, Werner says, is planning. When we don’t do the work to make sure we have nutritious food to fuel our bodies through the day, we scramble for something convenient — and it’s rarely a healthy choice. So sit down on the weekend, plan your meals for the week,
do the grocery shopping and prepare things ahead of time — whether it’s chopped veggies, oatmeal for breakfast or portionedout meals in the freezer, ready to pop into your bag as you head out the door. “It does take planning and work but the payoff is huge,� Werner said. And it doesn’t mean banishing all treats, full stop, but it does mean
enjoying cake when there’s cause to celebrate and maybe holding back when you’re reaching for the bag of chips out of boredom. “And whatever you’re going to do, make it fun,� she said. “It might not necessarily be fun at first, but it can be fun.� I’ll be sure to remember that during the 4 p.m. spin class this afternoon, Kari. spayne@tricitynews.com

London beckons blind athlete Dustin Walsh gunning for Paralympic podium By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
D
ustin Walsh’s favourite quote, “Failing to plan is planning to fail,” is often attributed to 1970s self-help book author, Alan Lakein. Walsh has a pretty big plan in store straight ahead of him, all right: Stepping onto the podium at the 2012 Paralympics in London, England. A 29-year-old visually imp a i re d r u n n e r wh o c a l l s Coquitlam home, Walsh is making his third straight appearance at the Paralympics, having also competed in 2004 in Athens, Greece, where he finished fifth, and in 2008 in Beijing, China. The London Paralympics running Aug. 29 to Sept. 9 will be something new for Walsh –– and Canada, for that matter –– as
it will mark the first time they have taken part in a relay at the Games, specifically in the men’s 4x100 metres. Adding to the excitement is the fact Walsh is one of a rather small contingent of Canadian athletes to have made the global grade for London. “It always feels good [to qualify], but I think this might feel the best,” the New Westminsterborn Walsh told The Tri-City News on the phone Wednesday. “Canada’s sending a small team this time... we sent about 40 [athletes] to Athens [in ’04] and this time it’s only 26. It’s a pretty high-quality team so it’s nice to have made it.” Despite a rather tricky training regimen trying to link the team –– two of its members are from B.C. and two are from Ontario –– the Canadian men’s 4x100 Paralympic relay unit is currently considered a top-five squad internationally. The biggest key, Walsh fig-
IN QUOTES
“I always go in looking to make the finals and go from there.” Coquitlam’s Dustin Walsh ures, is timing while passing the baton, with communication and pin-point delivery being enormous factors in a race that takes roughly only 45 ticks to finish and one bobble perhaps the difference from a medal to mediocrity. “We started out really having no idea how to do anything... we basically had to write the book on it,” Walsh said of his Canadian crew learning the relay. “It certainly wasn’t new to the world for able-bodied athletes but not so for the disabled. There was a lot of trial and error, for sure.”
Like in any sport, teamwork is of the essence, added Walsh, who figures to run the third leg, although the exact order on the team has yet to be determined and will be done by Canadian team coach Laurier Primeau, who’s also the head coach of Langley’s Trinity Wester n University Spartans track and field squad. Walsh is plenty used to running corners, with the 400m being his individual speciality and having posted a Canadian national championship time of 53.77 seconds competing in it recently in Calgary. “You look for people whose strengths match their position,” Walsh said. “We perform as individuals but we succeed as a team. “I’m feeling pretty good. I always go in looking to make the finals and go from there. I just hope to get the podium, either in the 400 or with the relay team. That would be a pretty amazing thing.”
PoCo Mites just super at B.C.’s By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They don’t call them SuperMites for nothing. PoCo Ravens capped a perfect season last weekend by winning the gold medal at the B.C. provincial softball championship for girls aged 9-10 at Burnaby’s Squint Lake Park, marking the first time they’ve done so in the tournament’s 19-year history. A mucky tundra couldn’t shackle the revved up Ravens, who won all four of their preliminary games by at least seven runs each, finishing with plus-28 runs and a plus-120 base total –– the highest possible in roundrobin play. In the title tilt, PoCo’s Caitlyn Wong tossed a near-perfect one-hitter over four innings as the Ravens blasted Ridge Meadows –– the sixtime reigning champions –– 10-2. see RAVENS, page A49

Saints slide to .500 with loss to ’Bellies Saints’ cage, with backup Garrett Span adding another five stops. The game was a tame affair, with just 10 total penalty minutes handed out. On Sunday, the Saints hung tough at 4-3 after the first frame before Victoria out-scored the hosts 6-1 the rest of the way. Pace pocketed a pair of goals for PoCo, with Mitch Cavallarin and Brock Whiteley also scoring in a losing cause. Also Sunday, Matthew Dinsdale pumped in four goals and added two assists to spark the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs to a 15-6 romp over the Jr. Lakers in Burnaby. Vincent Ricci supplied three markers for the Jr. A’s, who got a goal and five assists apiece from Ben McIntosh and Reid Reinholdt. Other Coquitlam goalgetters were Conner Buchanan, Jean-Luc Chetner, Robert Church, Challen Rogers, Nathan Klein and Tyler Garrison. The Jr. A’s out-shot last-place Burnaby, 5236.
Gal golfer in title hunt Port Coquitlam’s SooBin Kim posted backto-back rounds of 70 to sit in a second-place tie heading into Thursday’s third round (after The Ne ws’ deadline) in the BC Golf Women’s Amateur Championship at Christina Lake Golf
Club. Kim fired the only eagle of the championship on the par-5 430yard 15th hole and sat just one stroke behind the leader, Richmond’s Christine Wong, heading into third-round action.
PoCo Lightning did so much right it was hard to accept being on the wrong end of a 6-5 decision to their club rivals, the Pirates, in the recent Mosquito division baseball playoff championship game. It was a tremendous pitchers’ dual, with the Pirates’ Nicolas Yu, Lyle Taylor and Scott Helmold combining for 16 strikeouts compared with the Lightning’s Brendan Mason, Hunter Sheppard and Minjun Ceo fanning 15 together. Catcher Evan Callow and fielder Daniel Shypilov were standouts for the Lightning, who beat the Heat 12-9 in the semifinal with a Kiefer Hogan fifthinning run key to the victory. Previously, the Lightning finished with a 7-3 record to claim the league championship.

T h e g o a l - s t a r ve d PoCo Saints tallied twice as much in the first 20 minutes as they did in the final 40 and it was hardly enough, as they fell 7-3 Tuesday to the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena. T h e S a i n t s, wh o dropped a 10-4 count to the visiting Victoria Jr. Shamrocks on Sunday, slid to 10-10-0 in the eight-team B.C. Junior A l a c ro s s e l e a g u e, while 13-5-0 New West pulled to within two points of the first-place Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs, who sit at 14-4-0. Only three points shy of first are the third place Delta Islanders at 12-5-1. Tyler Klar ner and Tyler Pace helped stake the Saints to a 2-1 lead at the first intermission, and Connor Goodwin’s goal 2:37 into the second gave PoCo a 3-1 lead. However, it was all Jr. ‘Bellies after that, as they zipped in the game’s final six goals and ended up out-shooting the Saints 60-33, including 24-6 in the second period.
